Erik ten Hag has started Facundo Pellistri for Manchester United's match against Bayern Munich because of tactical reasons.
Fulham’s 'failed approach' for Manchester United midfielder and more transfer rumours
02.09.2023 - 07:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Fulham apparently approached Manchester United for Scott McTominay before Joao Palhinha’s proposed move to Bayern Munich fell through.
An Old Trafford exit for the Scot would have been unlikely given United’s agreement to bring in Sofyan Amrabat was to bolster thinning midfield ranks amid injuries to Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo. Fulham had previously held an interest in Fred before his switch to Turkish side Fenerbahce.
The Express claims the Cottagers made a late lunge for McTominay on deadline day but were unable to agree terms with so little time of the window left. McTominay has only played seven minutes this season but is expected to be used more when United begin their cup campaigns.
The Academy product still has two years left on his deal, with an option for a further 12 months. He played 39 times and made 16 starts under Erik ten Hag last season.

McTominay will face tough competition for minutes this season if and when all players are fit with Casemiro, Mount, Amrabat and likely Mainoo ahead of him in the pecking order.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail says United are keeping tabs on USA international Taylor Booth of FC Utrecht. The winger played 31 times last season, scoring twice and notching four assists. Ten Hag is reportedly an admirer and is watching his progress in the Netherlands.
Booth initially joined Bayern Munich in January 2019 but was released in 2022 having made one senior outing. Ten Hag could utilise his contacts at his former club if he decides to make a move for the 22-year-old in the future.
